Store History

Founded by:
Riley Mcferrin

Headquarters:
Vancouver, B.C.

Designer Riley Mcferrin has found a way to marry modern design with natural elements. With a background in fine art, Mcferrin's early paintings were inspired by architecture, design and nature. Along the way he started making more three dimensional designs which would eventually lead to Hinterland, his British Columbia-based design studio.

For Riley Mcferrin, the road to Hinterland began with a move from suburban LA to Oregon to be closer to the forest. As he continued to find inspiration in nature, Mcferrin's fine art evolved as well. His art slowly became more three dimensional and, in a fitting move, he transitioned into management of high-end custom home construction. Today, in addition to his furnishings, Riley brings his natural modernism to interiors projects, including small updates and complete construction.
